Millimeter Wave (mmWave) Detection Radar
The Millimeter Wave (mmWave) Detection Radar operates in the 77–81 GHz high-frequency band using FMCW (Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave) signal architecture. It transmits multiple chirp waveforms through a MIMO antenna array, resolving targets in range, azimuth, elevation, and radial velocity simultaneously. Detection range spans 1–5 km against low-altitude UAV targets with a radar cross-section as small as 0.01 m². Range resolution reaches approximately 15 cm, and the system outputs four real-time data streams: bearing, altitude, range, and velocity. The small drone tracking radar designation applies because its short wavelength resolves the rotor signatures of mini and micro-class UAVs, target classes that fall below the detection floor of conventional S-band systems.
The antenna assembly uses digital beamforming to maintain a stable scan pattern across a wide azimuth field without mechanical rotation. Doppler processing separates moving UAVs from stationary background clutter and distinguishes drone flight profiles from bird movement patterns using spectral feature comparison. The system connects via standard Ethernet and trigger interfaces, feeding track data directly to optical, RF, or multispectral cueing sensors in the same network.
As a counter-drone radar, the Millimeter Wave (mmWave) Detection Radar anchors the detection layer of fixed-site C-UAS deployments. Security teams install it at airports, power stations, military perimeters, and government facilities to close the low-altitude blind spots where conventional surveillance fails. It operates through rain, fog, dust, smoke, and total darkness, conditions that render camera-only systems unreliable.
Tactical Supply Pakistan supplies this system to operators who need verified, field-tested counter-UAS hardware. The brand connects defense professionals, security integrators, and infrastructure teams with battle-relevant technology that performs under real-world conditions.
Can mmWave radar tell a drone apart from a bird?
Yes. The system analyzes micro-Doppler signatures produced by rotor blade rotation. Bird wingbeat patterns generate a different spectral profile than multi-rotor UAVs, allowing the radar to classify targets and reduce false alarm rates significantly.
